S.O.A.P.
1-17-2015 Romans 4:14-25
S. 14 for if they which are of the law be
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15 because the
law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16 Therefore
it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure
to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which
is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written,
I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even
God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though
they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the
father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed
be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead,
when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's
womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was
strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what
he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed
to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it
was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we
believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was
delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
O. Like Abraham, all must come to God by
faith and not by legalism.
A. Faith must be used to increase and become
strong. Faith will keep us from worry and fear and will aid us in our search
for peace.
P. Father; my faith is in you, keep me from straying. Open my eyes and let me see. Amen.
